A atuação do terapeuta ocupacional em um caso de reabilitação física: um olhar para além do corpo

Abstract

The present work it is an experience report on the role of occupational therapy developed by a graduate student at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba - UFPB in a theoretical discipline practice between the months of August to October 2016. Has as main objective to analyze the intervention of Occupational Therapy with an adult person with Cerebral Palsy, with emphasis on the process of construction of the bond therapist-client. The interest in developing this work is coupled to the desire to share the history of the construction of the therapeutic bond established in the first experience of a student in the graduation of Occupational Therapy. With this we aim to raise the academic community and the professional class about the importance of the formation and maintenance of a therapeutic relation along the interventions for the favoring of a humanized practice. To do so, we developed a qualitative perspective, using the model of experience reports. The content was organized into what we call three times the therapeutic process, which allowed us to recount the experience with the case. The report allowed us to conclude that the evolution of the clinical case was only possible from the installation of the bond terapeuta-patient-activity, which favored the involvement and adherence of the patient to the therapeutic process developed from a holistic practice.
